Architect Alberto Kalach is known for his visionary engagement with Mexico City's complex urban fabric. As founder of T.A.X. (Taller de Arquitectura X), his work spans from low-cost housing to large-scale urban proposals like México Ciudad Futura—an ambitious plan to restore the Valley of Mexico’s ancient lake systems. Rooted in ecological sensitivity and contextual awareness, Kalach’s architecture bridges geographic and cultural memory through a tactile language of wild materials, verdant courtyards, and flowing geometries. T.A.X. operates as a lab, a greenhouse, and a collective learning space—where form is shaped by experimentation and only what is loved gets built.
